The Milwaukee depot at Owatonna
was burned last week. After the discov-
cry of the fire it was impossible 70 save
anything in the building except the cash
and tickets. Several hundred dollars
worth Of freight was burned. If the fire
brings about the erection Of a good depot
at Owatonna, the public will not grieye
much over the loss Of the old one. A
fine chance is now offered for the cree
ton Of q Union depot that will be q
great convenience to the public and less
Of an eye-sore than the old ones have
been for some time.
